Just to follow up to my own message, that problem seems to be caused by
accidentally using the wrong version of Python.  I had Python 2.2 installed on
both boxes, which would have been what was running when I just typed "z2.py" at
the command-line.  

Making sure to use the included Python 2.1.1+ (easy to do by using the
"start.bat") works fine.
